The tourist season comes to an end in November. The island’s rhythm slows down, with fewer visitors.
Like nature itself, Île de Ré undergoes its autumnal moult. The temperate climate leaves the land and villages filled with tranquility. Autumn is the perfect time to relax and enjoy the great outdoors.
Discover the villages and nature of the Retais in a different way
It’s with a more private face that Ré reveals its assets for getting together as a family, a couple or with friends. Take advantage of the peaceful villages to stroll through the narrow streets and visit the monuments that remain accessible at this time of year, such as the Phare des Baleines, the Abbaye des Châteliers, the churches, the fortifications and many other sites.
Strolls or bike rides along the seafront or through the heart of the villages, passing through vineyards, woods and marshes, combine poetry and joyful moments.
The autumnal light on the vegetation is splendid and captivating. Sunsets retain their magic forever, as the sky blazes with shades of orange, red and purple.
Excursions to the island’s various ecosystems are invigorating! Take the opportunity to get to know the island’s flora and fauna on a discovery safari.
A haven for migratory birds, the ornithological reserve in the north of the island is the ideal spot to observe them.
